Jason Terry – shooting guard, Boston Celtics
Nicknamed ''JET'' because of his initials, Terry was a born basketball champion. Raised in Seattle, he grew up idolizing Gary Payton and watching the Sonics. Terry attended Franklin High, carrying the school to consecutive state titles in 1994 and 1995 with his sweet three-point stroke.
The championships continued in college, where Terry won an NCAA Championship with Arizona in 1997 alongside the likes of Mike Bibby and Michael Dickerson.
Entering his 15th season of an illustrious basketball career, Terry has found success at the highest level as well. He was part of the championship Dallas Mavericks squad that knocked off the favored Miami Heat in 2011. Terry’s confidence even led him to tattoo the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy on his right bicep before the series.
